For those of you presently using or those considering installing a G5RV antenna, take a look at the ZS6BKW antenna. It is a modified G5RV with slightly different dimensions which result in better SWR & bandwidth characteristics than the G5RV. It even performs well on 6 Meters. You can check it out at:

It would be 51' (instead of 67 which is REALLY bad on 20 meters), or a little longer, say 54' if you wanted to load on 17m and 12m. My K2/10 and the auto tuner will match most anything, but your lengths are not anything I would do on purpose for multiband : >) On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 7:49 PM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > Dave, > > If you did not disconnect the KAT2, then please tell us the setup (all > the connections) when you have SWR readings below 1.5. > That may be capable of providing some sort of clue. > > 73, > Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
